Abstract: A pneumatic radial ply tire (50) having a tread (52), a carcass (60) with two sidewalls (77, 78), two or more radial plies (70, 72), two annular beads (36a′, 36b′), a belt structure (56) located radially between the tread and the radial ply structure (58), one or more circumferentially deployed high-modulus incompressible belt reinforcements (66) and/or two or more circumferentially deployed high-modulus tensile-stress-bearing fabric reinforcements (59). Belt reinforcement(s) (66) and/or fabric reinforcement(s) (59) work to increase the lateral and circumferential rigidity of the tread (52) and underlying structures of the carcass (60). The lateral and circumferential stiffening of the tread (52) enhances high-speed runflat handling and contributes to improved runflat operational life.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial ply runflat tire 1000 for a vehicle has a tread 1012, a carcass 1022 comprising at least one radial ply 1030 and two sidewalls 1016 each reinforced by a circumferentially disposed crescent-shaped wedge insert. Each insert has an elastomeric porous section 1042 embedded in an elastomeric stiffer layer 1044 of the insert 1040. When the tire is normally inflated, the porous section 1042, and hence the insert as a whole, is flexible, thereby providing comfortable driving characteristics. Under runflat (deflated tire) conditions, the pores in the porous section 1042 collapse, and the porous section 1042 stiffens, and hence the insert as a whole becomes stiff enough to support the load of the vehicle.

Abstract translation: 用于车辆的气动径向帘布式轮胎1000具有胎面1012，胎体1022包括至少一个径向帘布层1030和两个侧壁1016，每个侧壁1016由周向设置的月牙形楔形插入件加强。 每个插入件具有嵌入在插入件1040的弹性体刚性层1044中的弹性体多孔部分1042.当轮胎通常被充气时，多孔部分1042以及因此插入件作为整体是柔性的，从而提供舒适的驱动特性。 在润滑轮（放气轮胎）条件下，多孔部分1042中的孔塌陷，并且多孔部分1042变硬，因此插入件整体变得足够坚硬以支撑车辆的载荷。

Abstract: A runflat tire is provided that may be used in applications currently requiring a large aspect ratio tire. The runflat tire of the invention may be substituted in these applications while providing desirable ride characteristics. The runflat tire includes a sidewall with a radial portion and a cantilever portion. The cantilever portion may be fabricated by extending a sidewall insert in the axially inward direction or by extending the bead filler in the axially outward direction. In other embodiments, the cantilever sidewall portion is formed by a combination of the sidewall insert and the bead filler. The resulting runflat tire has desired durability in the uninflated operating condition while having desired ride characteristics in the inflated condition. The sidewall structure allows the tire to be used in applications presently requiring a tire with a high aspect ratio.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial ply tire (50) has a tread (52), a carcass (61) with two sidewalls (77, 78), a single radial ply (70) reinforced with inextensible metal cords, two annular beads (36a′, 36b′), and a belt structure (58) located radially between the tread and the radial ply structure (56). Each sidewall (77, 78) is reinforced with wedge inserts (59a, 59b) containing stiffener layers (72a, 72b, 73a, 73b) that carry the compressive loading to which the tire is subjected during runflat operation. The incorporation of wedge-insert stiffeners (72a, 72b, 73a, 73b) provides a light-weight runflat tire having a simplified construction.
